Mary has always lived within the fences. Her mother has told her stories of life outside and what it used to be like before the Unconsecrated returned, but...those things only live in Mary's imagination.
Several months back, Mary's father went missing. It is suspected that he fell into the hands of the Unconsecrated. Every day her mother walks out to check the fences, desperately searching for her husband, and every day her mother breaks down a little bit more.
When Mary is out doing laundry one day taking her time, the siren sounds and she feels in her heart that her mother has breached the fence lines. When she gets to the fence line, it is too late. Her mother has been bitten. But Mary can't kill her mother, so she waits until her mother turns and then sends her out to become one of the Unconsecrated.
Mary's brother turns his back on her and Mary is forced to become one of the Sisterhood. As she becomes more embroiled in the secrets of the Sisterhood, Mary learns that in order for the Sisterhood to preserve order, they have kept many secrets. Before she can learn enough to piece together the whole story, however, the walls are breached and Mary finds herself running for her life to escape the Unconsecrated.
A zombie novel filled with enough horror and suspense to keep the pages turning, readers will not be disappointed with Ryan's first offering and they will be more than willing to stay on board for parts two and three (which are in the works).
